Note: Complete Daily Task mentioned at the end of the chapter for the next update. 

Armaan's POV:

I looked to my left and found her already staring at me, she blinked her eyes and looked away thinking about something. She opened her mouth to say it but I spoke first "We can skip the dinner if that's what you're thinking about." She nodded then opened her mouth again to say something, "If you want ice cream instead, I can buy you that... I know a famous ice cream parlor on this route." She parted her lips but again I spoke first, "You want to go somewhere else than the house then we can..." she slapped my arms, "Would you let me speak?"

I looked at her and road, "We would have met an accident if you used your hands so much on me". She turned sad and mumbled, "I'm sorry... you weren't letting me speak... in frustration I forgot you were driving with your hands on the steering wheel." I bite my cheeks inside, she's so cute when she blames someone else then apologizes for her part making it even. I muttered lowly "If you want to use your hands so desperately then use them in the right place...."

She knits her brows in confusion and mumbles scratching her head, "What's that supposed to mean?" perks of having a not-so-double-meaning understanding wife. "Nothing... tell me where you wanna go?" she thinks for a while then combing everything, "Somewhere peaceful with trees no people just us but not a romantic place." My face screwed up, "Graveyard..." she turned poker face, "Stop the car... I said stop the fucking car" in confusion I stopped on the side of the road. The moment it stopped she showered hundreds of soft slaps on me, "Hey... stop...". I barely felt anything as she threw so weak punches and slaps but slowly, they were becoming stronger than the one before.

I pulled her towards me to make her stop before she actually starts hitting me, she opposed and then gave up. Pushing my driving seat back I made her sit on my lap, her tensed muscles instantly calmed and her chubby cheeks swelled up. She innocently played with my shirt button "I really don't know what to do and what not to. I'm just not feeling myself..." lifting her chin I made it clear, "You don't have to worry about it so much trust me I won't let anything wrong happen to you." She lifts her eyelids looking into my eyes affectionately.

Caressing her jawbone, I moved forward filling the space between our lips. She closed her eyes and her hands slipped to the side of my cheek. Her soft lips slowly synthesized with my pace as I sucked her lower lips. Deeping the kiss I pulled her face towards me my fingers touched her hairclip, and unlocking it I let her hair fall till her shoulders.

She sucked a breath and pour complete passion into the kiss, lowering my head I trailed soft kisses down her neck. Biting her sweet spot, she moaned grinding on me I could feel getting hard like a rock. With the sound of the thunderstorm, she gasped and opened her eyes hastily. Looking outside it had turned dark with some grey clouds covering the sky, "It's surely going to rain." She panted looking back at me as I was still stunned because of what happened just now.

"Um... yeah... I bought a pool house recently do you wanna go there?" I tried to calm myself but it wasn't working as her swollen lips were driving me crazy. She nodded and pecked my lips confirming she loved it and doesn't regret it. With a sigh I let her sit in the passenger seat, starting the car I took the route of the pool house. I bought it for her but didn't have the courage to tell her it was supposed to be her wedding gift. I was so nervous because it wasn't some girl's dream wedding gift but it was of Ishita's taste. In the company, I got to see the dream projects of a celeb which she completed, and had the idea of which kind of taste she has else than what clients asked for.

Stopping the car inside the parking area it was already raining heavily, we covered ourselves and ran inside the house. She giggled closing the door, "You run like girls..." I was offended, "What... girls have some other way of running. They also run with two legs so do I and for your kind information, I was keeping the pace with you so you don't get behind. I have participated in three college marathons of forty-two kilometers winning two gold and one silver." She looked at me with wide eyes then bust laughing, "I think your bones have got weak since you're not a teenager anymore." I walked past her hitting her shoulder.

"My God..." she almost screamed with a gasp I turned to look at her if she was okay but was surprised as she was looking around with wide eyes. "This place is so beautiful... it has such a nice color combination. That is so beautiful...." She ran towards the pool area. "Armaan... you really hit the jackpot this place is so nice." I opened my mouth to tell her but she cuts me off, "Can I go outside? Please... Please... Please...." With a chuckle, I motioned her to go.

She opened the glass door and cheered running outside like a chimpanzee getting out of a zoo cage. Removing her heels, she spread her arms drenched in rain roaming around the pool area. She came back as it started raining harder, "Ah... it was so refreshing..." I nodded as it was for me to see her so happily enjoying herself. "We have a jacuzzi indoor pool..." she hopped in one place. "Really... this place couldn't get any better."

Getting inside she got a lace swimsuit and walked inside the warm water jacuzzi, I sat on the edge in my boxers with my legs dipping in the water. Her beautiful body looked sizzling hot drenched in the water my eyes couldn't look at anything else than her. She peeped at me, "Why are you looking at me like that?" I shrugged, "Like what?" she smiled, "Like you see something special in me." I stretched back, "What if I said you're special?" she rolled her eyes, "I wouldn't believe it because look at me..." she did a little twirl inside the soppy water, "Do you see anything special?" I nodded she knits her brows and crossed her arms asking for an explanation, "If you would ever see yourself from my eyes, you will know how special you are?" she rolled her eyes again and sits back.

I pulled out my phone scrolling through some messages, water splashed on me. I looked up and found her giggling finding it amusing, "Seriously... my phone could have got..." she splashed the water over me again. To which I kept the phone on the side and swam towards her. She chuckled trying to hide then planned to run away but I got there the moment she stood up from the tub.

"You called for it..." she chuckled as I slashed the water at her. I wrapped my arms around her waist maintaining eye contact, I pulled her hand locking it behind her into the water. Her eyes looked deep into mine the moment our skin collide she hugged me. I was stunned for a while by the way she gripped me like she will lose me if she let me go. I could feel her muscles tense, "Ishita... look at me..." she hides her face on my shoulder. I didn't force her and hugged her rubbing he back, she calmed after a few minutes and separated from me.

I looked at her in confusion she babbled, "Armaan I'm sorry but I don't know how will I tell you about Kabir. I'm trying hard to be strong and tell you the truth but I can't it's just...". I pulled her back into the hug, "Shh... I believe you and whenever you feel like you can tell me. Nothing will change because of it between us I won't judge you at all and would surely support you. You're my wife I will be there for you no matter what..." she nodded and got up. I stayed there for a little longer while she used the shower and got dressed.

Something has happened that made her ruthless because her heart is still fragile. The way she hugged and wanted to cry questioned me about the mask of power she covered herself. And why was it needed? Raj Kund is an ass and Anjana loves him no matter what. When I went there to pick her up, she was sweating badly while sitting on the couch whereas Raj and Anjana were busy fighting over their marital affairs. It gave me a glimpse of her past living in a family that was damaged inside.

But the damage was so big that it killed innocence in Ishita, she was forced to grow up by her destiny. I could possibly tell when Raj and Anjana used to quarrel Ishita was suffering from poor mental health alone. No one was there for her but now when I have been with her, she considers me an important person in her life, who she doesn't wanna lose at any cost. The thing that amazed me is that I can feel her pain and care for her. It's not something I do for everyone because people use it for their profit but this feeling is coming for Ishita.
